“#Top NYC chef explains switching Eleven Madison Park to all-vegan menu<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Eleven Madison Park, one of the city\u2019s priciest restaurants, is betting the farm \u2014 and seeds, roots and fungi \u2014 on an all-vegan menu when it reopens on June 10. Goodbye, our favorite lavender and honey-roasted duck and mushroom butter-poached lobster!\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an epicurean upheaval by chef\/owner Daniel Humm, who\u2019s presided over the three-Michelin-starred eatery\u2019s kitchen since 2006. EMP customers were used to meaty masterpieces from land and sea as part of a $335 prix fixe tasting menu.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new menu will also cost $335 (including tip) for 12 courses, compared with eight to 10 pre-pandemic. It will be 100 percent \u201cplant-based\u201d with \u201cvegetables, both from the earth and the sea, as well as fruits, legumes, fungi, grains, and so much more,\u201d Humm wrote to customers on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cPlant-based\u201d means no milk, cream or cheese, either \u2014 dairy products which chefs often use on merely vegetarian menus to make dishes taste and feel more like \u2014 take a guess \u2014 meat and fish. (The only exception at EMP will be milk and honey available with coffee and tea).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Is EMP\u2019s new animal-averse app<\/a>roach woke? Or is it a joke, given that a mere 0.5 percent of the US adult population identifies as vegan?\u00a0<\/p>\n

EMP has changed colors over the years like a culinary chameleon. It redesigned its dining room twice. It went from \u00e0 la carte to prix fixe. It launched a baffling \u201cgrid\u201d menu a few years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For a brief time, waiters delivered history spiels and performed card tricks for diners who just wanted to eat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But vegan-ization is the biggest departure by far \u2014 and a sure way to set off a buzz as Eleven Madison Park reopens for in-house dining for the first time since March 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Humm wrote in his letter that during the pandemic, \u201cWe realized that not only has the world changed, but that we have changed as well . . . it was becoming ever clearer that the current food system is simply not sustainable in so many ways.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He told The Post on Monday: \u201cI would tell you it would be a lot easier to reopen the restaurant we had before. This is a scary thing for us.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s crystal clear that the food system \u2014 the way we produce food, eat food \u2014 so many aspects are broken.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s time to show a plant-based way forward that\u2019s creative, delicious and luxurious.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we can shine a light on a dish of seaweed as truly luxurious, it can change for many other places.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Humm dismissed a snarky suggestion that a vegan menu cost the restaurant less to turn out: \u201cIt\u2019s a huge expense. We have a farm upstate in Bennington, NY, to grow our special vegetables. We work with a lab. It\u2019s also extremely labor-intensive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Humm\u2019s fellow three-Michelin star toque, seafood-centric Le Bernardin\u2019s Eric Ripert, agreed, \u201cA pound of morel mushrooms costs $40. White asparagus, truffles and exotic vegetables can be similar in price to food at places that don\u2019t serve only vegetables.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ripert wished Humm well, saying, \u201cI believe the EMP concept will be successful. The younger audience is very curious about what you can do with vegetables.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

(Both Eleven Madison Park and Le Bernardin are awaiting Michelin\u2019s delayed 2021 ratings on Thursday, which will reflect the guide\u2019s pre-pandemic evaluations.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

But if Humm\u2019s new format doesn\u2019t work for enough customers, \u201cHe can always add a meat or a fish,\u201d Ripert chuckled. \u201cSo it will be mostly vegan but not entirely.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
